Psalm 2

The Reign of the LORD'S Anointed One

1Why
are the nations in an uproar,
And the peoples devising a vain thing? 2The kings
of the earth take their stand,
And the rulers take counsel together.
Against the LORD, and against His Anointed, saying, 3"Let us
tear their fetters apart,
And cast away their cords from us!" 4He who
sits in the Heavens laughs,
The LORD scoffs at them. 5Then He
will speak to them in His anger
And terrify them in His fury, saying,

6"But as
for Me, I have installed My King
Upon My Zion, My holy mountain."
7"I will
surely tell you of the decrees of the LORD:
He said to Me, 'You are My Son,
Today I have begotten you.
8'Ask of
Me, and I will surely give you all the nations as Your inheritance,
And the very ends of the earth as Your possession.'
9'You
shall break them with the Rod of Iron.
You shall shatter them like earthenware.' 10Now
therefore, O Kings, show discernment;
Take warning,
O Judges of the earth. 11Worship
the LORD with reverence
And rejoice with trembling.

12Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, lest you perish in the way. For His wrath may
soon be kindled.
How blessed are all those who take refuge in Him..
